Felix the Cat studio photo

Just spotted on ebay: a vintage publicity photo showing the producer of the Felix The Cat cartoons, Pat Sullivan, and his wife Marjorie, in Sullivan’s office with an avalanche of Felix drawings. They are apparently judging a “Draw Felix” contest, but of greater interest to me is the rare one-sheet poster (Gym Gems, 1926) tacked to the wall, the Felix doll in the corner, and the many framed, autographed photos of stars of the day. Nice find!

It has never been proved that Otto Messmer created Felix. Otto was having a tilt at gaining the lucrative copyright but he could not prove it
back then and it still has has not been proved, so what do we get instead… contradicting propaganda! The Canemaker book is in effect the case Messmer would have run…but he made fatal flaws… go tohttp://www.vixenmagazine.com/News.html
See Otto’s lies for yourself… I think Felix is not the only Aussie creation that was hi jacked,,, check out The Mask, The Panther, Vixen.
